TddZZw/zbin Me t "0 mm.- H I 1: Be it Imowntnfi I, saw 0. Nntiso n, {a .r citizen [Of the United states, residing at YVhitinsville, in the ceunty of Worcester and State "of Massachusetts; have invented the following -de'scribef d I Improvements in Clearer-h lountings 'fdr Roving-Frames.

I The invention is kan improfed clearer coi er constructien for r in'g likehlachines, its pai'tichlaifeatures 'fcon prising ineans whereby the hinged 'Tsupport for the sovemay be changedr'eadily to accoinino' it to an upright position.

' date close or wide 'se'tt'ing's fof the asse rolls, and whereby the eate 1s interloeked with its'support in either or both po sit'ionabeing readily r'einoi'able from thefsta'nd by raising In the accompanying" drawfj'gs; Figure; is a section of so inuclrof an ordinary fey-reg 'fi'anie rollstahd and its a p1' u;rtenances as will s'ufiiceto illu'stratethe meager p1i cation of this invention thereto, Tlre figur'e also shows one 'nibodiinen't fof the invention applied to such stand; Fig. 2 is fear' jele v aftion er the parts shown in one hinge i'n'section onlin'e II%II of Fig. 3 is a detail of the hinge construction with the corer'set for Yidefadjustnients of the rolls; and Fig. ,l is'a 'si'ihi'lar detailfor close adjustments of the rolls;

v The drawings illutr'a'te ahfollstaiidll, with "a forward fixed journal seat, 2, a' middle seat 3, "and back sweetie lzfttertiwlo being adjustable the stand award from each other. The pillow of the rearniostjournal seat-1r, carries was: red 5 to s'iipportthe cap bar, which latter is coinprised of a finger 6, a rod? adjustablyset sciew'ed'there'in, andtwo'top roll guides 8 and 9 adjustably set serewech'to 'the rod. These two guides eaped-mile remand middle top rolls, while theback "top' rail is held in placein a channel formedw between the two vertical walls and ll'of finger 6. It will he understood, of course,

that the cap hard is adapted to support the ends or gudgeons of two adjacent sets of top rolls, being therefore symmetrically formed, as usuahwith channels for the roll gudgeons on either side and With the rod 7 disposed centrally between the channels and centrally of the cap bar finger 6 by which it is supported. The cover 12 is hinged to f'diiferent eat or are the'rollsa r e" close set. I Theekpenseand infc oniieniehce oiE 'the p d f'eliniinat'ed 'a ccerdiifg to 'the present invenf tion byf pro-vld ng the "cc'ver with plural hingirig provisiens' upe'n the cap bar andat difi re'flfd ta 1 rolls are set} {clearer mper, which is comprised in the resentlpase ofa block or'fr'aine 13, to the under side of which a belt or loop 14: of

pint and 'slotconnction 15, ;40 that when the latter is n "working position, the flannel will "have 'a suitable bearing upon allbfthe toproll's; 1 U H r y In Fig. lithe roll'jornals guides are set at their widest "separatihiand the cover is proper relation to the rolls for setting. If, howerer, the rolls are-now to be set clcse'together, it willbe evident that the forjivaidfadjnst nentbfthe c'ap bar firr 16 will adifancethe cover'and its clearer commonly "compensated by; providing a r1,eovers"for use when ouble set of eovers'is cesjlroi'n the bearings of the back rolls, iWlllCllWVIll prmdeone or more pivotal axes e ema; the cover ma be "hinged. Thus I provide on the cover a hingelm'e'inheror arm 16, and on the cap bar twe hinge 'n'icnihers l7 "and-18, each adapted to eoact with the member 16' when 7 engaged therewith. The member 1'8 is rearward oftheiiiernher 17 so that when the I clo'se toge'tlier, the cover maybe hinged to inei'nher and thereby sup ported in 15m "1e1- relation to the top rolls.

The help bar nin'ge member-s which are stalhi n'ge members, 'inayj cfg'insistj oi two pro ections or "studs pro ecting laterally from, the shanlpof thewcap bar finger, and I i e 'ai m "Ml which "constitu't'es in the present "ease the hinging or movable hingernember, may consist of a hub portion 19 with a central bore constituting a pivot hole to receive either stud, and with an entrance slot or channel 2-0, through which the-stud is passed when the members of the hinge are asse1nbled or separated. This slot 20 is curved and so arranged with reference to adjacent parts that when the cover 1s down, or 1n its normal working position, an interlocking engagement will be formed between the engaging hinge members, which willprevent' removal of the cover accidentally or otherwise exce at when turned to an 11 ri 'ht 7 b sition. Thus it will be seen from Fig. 3 that the wall 11 of the cap bar finger will prevent withdrawal of the hub from the pivot stud 17 when the cover is applied to to such position as will permit the hub to be withdrawn upwardly from engagement with the stud. V The lug 21 may serve also the additional function of a stop or abutment tolimit the opening movement of the cover bination of a roll-stand and cap-bar adapted e and against which the shoulder 22 may rest while the cover remains in an upright position. A similar lug23 is provided solely as an abutment stop to engage the said shoulder when the cover is hinged to the stud '18. I

It will be observed in Fig. 2 that the pivot hole in the arm 16 and the entrance slot20 thereof'are iformed only in one side of the hinge member but it willof course be under- Stood that such hole and slot may extend entirely through the hinge member if desired.

It will also be understood that each cover is provided withtwo arms, such as 16, one for engaging the, pivot studs of one cap bar and, the other for engaging the corresponding 7 studs of another oap bar, although only one "of such arms is shown in the accompanying drawings, It will be evident also; to those stand, .front and rear stationary hinge members thereon, a-clearer cover having a hinge skilledin this art thatthe precise disposition of the arms and their mode of connection with the coveror withthe clearer, can

be varied 'withinwi'de' limits, according to the design and circumstances of each par ticular "case.

' Iclaim: 1 1 v 1. In a roving or like machine, a rollstand having adjustable roll-bearings and a cap-bar, in combination with a clearer, cover 'for the rolls supported by the cap-bar, such cover being hinged to its support and the hinge provisions comprising front and rear hinge member s, whereby the cover-may be Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents eachp'by addressing .Washington,DLC.

v members pivotally connecting the cover with the stand and comprising two stationary members and a hinging member, the lattionary member to prevent separation when the'clearer cover is in operation and belng removable when the cover is moved upright.

8. 'In'a roving or like machine, a rollstand and clearer cover, separable hinge members pivotally connecting the cover with ,thestand'and comprising parts adapted to provlde a front or a rear hingeaxls for said cover, the hinging hinge member being t er interlocking in engagement with its staadapted to interlock in engagement with its stationary hinge member to prevent'separation of the hinge when the cover isin use; 4:. In a rovlng or like machine, the comto support draftingrolls and accommodate bers with which the cover member may be v engaged and a hinge abutment for each stationary member.

6. In a roving or like machine, a rollstand, a cap -bar thereon and front and rear hinge members on the cap-bar, incombina ti'on with a cleare'rcover hlng'eable to'either 10f said members. I v I 7; In a roving or like machine, a rollmember adapted for pivotal connection with either of said stationary members, and

adapted to interlock in engagement therewith on movement of the cover to normal position, j
